I have had a number of complaints about the very high price being charged for the Akashic Books and Creation Books editions of my first novel COWS. I completely agree that the prices are outrageous. Unfortunately as these books are either secondhand, ex-library stock, or have been remaindered unscrupulously and sold off cheaply to booksellers who then gouge the reading public, I have no control over the pricing of them (neither do I receive royalties from these copies). Therefore, GOOD NEWS! I will publish a paperback edition of COWS through September Press Books, to be available through Amazon sometime in either December 2014 or January 2015. I expect the price to be around $16.00. (New paperback cover on the left)
